During nice weather, sit out on the patio that is surrounded by greenery for privacy and dine on broiled Canadian salmon or the blackened Louisiana catfish served with a spicy tomato salsa. While the mood is intimate, children are welcome at the Ivy Inn and menu items for them include penne pasta with butter, three mini sliders or a pizzette.The Ivy Inn offers a global selection of both red and white wines.

    Great Dinner, we went on Sunday and they had lots of football specials (sliders, nachos, wings). I just wanted a simple burger but it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had!! Great kids menu with many choices. I also had wings and clam chowder — both delicious. Fabulous food and great service. Everything I’ve had there has been excellent (I’ve had lobster roll and pastas in the past at Biggies). Highly recommend for a football Sunday.
